Chronic pelvic pain is a difficult handling medical and surgical condition and of transcendent importance to women who suffer from it. This condition has been associated to different diseases as endometriosis, adenomiosis, adnexal mass, pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic adhesive disease. The present study was carried out comparing two laparoscopic surgical methods in an randomized way; laparoscopic uterine nerve ablation and a presacral neurectomy, with 12 patients in each group and a follow up of 12 mont. Results demonstrate a similar resolution on both groups in the short term and a significant difference on pain's resolution within the presacral neurectomy group in the long term without post-surgery or trans-surgery complications.
